The Institute of Medicine seminal report, “The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health” recommends that health professionals take part in continuous interprofessional collaboration through didactic and clinical training. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recommends health professionals collaborate in the area of education and practice, thus creating an environment that produces respectful and effective relationships in the practice settings. The general consensus is that the interprofessional education and collaborative practice (IPECP) model will result in an increased access to quality and safe health care for patients, families, and communities. Two Federal agencies are leveraging and maximizing their collective interprofessional expertise and resources to develop a set of core measures and metrics that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of interprofessional education and collaborative practice teams. Staff from these agencies are working together to determine a consensus on a set of baseline measures and metrics. A conceptual model for team-based care measurement will be developed for use in the academic and primary care practice settings. Collaboration is paramount and reflects a shared commitment to a health workforce that is capable of delivering high quality, team-based care in transforming care delivery systems. This collaborative work will inform the field of interprofessional education and collaborative team-based care, move forward the methodology and evaluation science, and ultimately improve patient, family and community health outcomes.
